12:02 pm
investigation to find out exactly what happened but it is sticking with what he was saying yesterday monday that this was a targeted action against what he calls foreign al-qaeda operatives it says that around $22.00 foreign fighters were killed a further 14 or so were captured in what seems to taken place is a ground offensive but also an air strike so we're possibly a double attack now everybody seems to accept that a number of foreign fighters were targeted and work killed but there is that obviously a dispute about exactly the number of civilians who were caught up in this we do know it does seem as though a wedding party or was caught up the number of civilians at this wedding party were killed and injured pictures have been picked up by one of the main agencies that are now reaching kabul which do seem to show a women and children being amongst the victims there are some very some very harrowing scenes of bodies but also injured injured children now we don't know the
12:03 pm
original source of these pictures so it's difficult to vouch for their veracity but if they are authentic then it would seem to indicate that there has been an attack there has been a number of civilians caught in this wedding party who are now casualties. c. is a former afghan deputy defense minister he explains why government strikes often go wrong. this civilian casualties who has been going on you know since 2000 wells as been documented since 2006. often what happens is because both sides would like to intensify the war and pressure each other. on the battlefield they end up targeting areas where there's a lot of collateral damage even though the afghan government and the coalition forces have very stringent standard operating procedures or so he says that it's called where they are whereas if they see and if they have intelligence both
12:04 pm
through the eyes are a human intelligence that there are you know possibilities of human civilians basically around a particular target they wouldn't target that area but often case what happens is that recently they have increased their air operations in afghanistan and you are now as you know airstrikes often lead to a lot of tragic civilian casualties so the rise in the hike in civilian casualties it has mostly to do with air strikes and also a special ops with faulty intelligence. u.k. france and germany have joined the u.s. in blaming iran for the drone cruise missile attacks on saudi oil facilities earlier this month the european leaders met on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly in new york french president emanuel also spoke with iran's has a new army insists his country had nothing to do with the oil strikes separately britain's prime minister boys johnson has been putting out mixed signals about the iran nuclear deal is a diplomatic editor james bays. is the u.k.
12:05 pm
about to break seats from the iran nuclear deal there is great confusion after comments made in interviews by prime minister boris johnson in which he said it was a bad deal that needs renegotiating and that president trump was the man to do so as president trump rightly said there was a bad deal it wasn't a great deal iran was with and the is behaving disruptively in the region and i think this one guy who can do a better deal for years trump was quick to seize on what appeared to be a change in u.k. policy oh i respect boris a lot and i am not at all surprised that he was the 1st one to come out and say that later though this statement is clarification the prime minister supports the j c p o a that's the iran nuclear deal the iranians aren't currently in compliance and we need to bring them back into compliance. it all comes at a time of growing tension the u.k. france and germany have now joined the u.s.

ongoing crisis james al-jazeera at the united nations staying in new york world leaders have come together at the u.n. for a climate change summit to try to prevent a global irreversible catastrophe the summit part of the general assembly asked countries to make faster reforms a new u.n. report has found commitments to cut greenhouse gases must be at least triples to meet the goals of the 2015 paris agreement at least $66.00 countries say they intends to achieve a net 0 carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 but 14 nations representing a quarter of global emissions serve refuse to improve their current climate plans by next year's deadline set by u.n. chief and tony terrorists while their inaction drew a scolding from teenage activists aggressor totenberg adjourned a whole now reports from the u.n. . i'm announcing that earlier this morning we have filed an official complaints under the convention on the rights of the child's. world leaders don't
12:08 pm
like being told what to do much less by a group of school children including a certain swedish teenager who's decided to take them to court my name is to get the to learn i am 16 years old and i'm doing this because well it is off failing to protect the rights of the child by continue to ignore the climate crisis a summit on climate change is the centerpiece of this year's general assembly and grettir totenberg it stand up strong. it's a shift in emphasis 1st secretary general antonio terrorists who came to office focusing on conflict resolution but instead has watched peace escaped the likes of syria yemen and libya with a new cold flick looming in the gulf it is that sense of urgency but i have to say the secretary general didn't do it alone i think all you had to do is watch the millions of people especially young people that were in the streets on friday and
12:09 pm
the secretary general's fully aware that he may have been speaking but in the back there were millions of young people screaming and pushing and demanding action that it takes children to call world leaders to account on something like climate change says a lot about the state of global diplomacy as it does about the ever more elusive search for consensus that the u.n. and this vast gathering are supposed to be about 193 countries represented more than 500 side events a blizzard of activity but how much can actually be achieved for the diplomats and u.n. weapons inspector richard butler anyone who walks into an assembly like this and thinks that i can get what i want from it selfishly and take it away put it in my pocket. is not living on the same planet that i'm living on interdependence is the name of the. game finding solutions that suit a larger rather than a smaller number of people is what this place is about and the moral imperative to
12:10 pm
do so is the case. that an assembly of this magnitude mobilize the imperative to act on climate change is not shared by president trump who attended a parallel meeting on religious freedoms instead a deliberate attempt to divert attention from a cause he doesn't believe in critics said an attempt that doesn't appear to have worked jonah 0 at the u.n. in new york. the u.k.'s highest court is due to announce whether prime minister boris johnson's move to suspend parliament was illegal government lawyers argued last week that johnson had every right to make the move but opponents say it was intended to silence the debate on breaks it as johnson triste upon the e.u. with or without a deal by the end of this month. chalons joins us live now from london outside the supreme court where moments away from finding out what the results of that ruling
12:11 pm
will be put it into context for us rory what's it all about why is it so important . yeah in about half an hour we could have a political thunderstorm to beat the heavy rain this being lashing london this morning that is when brenda hale who's the president of the supreme court justice will read the verdicts that the supreme court has given on 2 appeals that have been heard here over the past week one of those appeals was being brought by gina miller and i'm sick campaign or the other was being brought by the government but they both asked the same questions and that is essentially was boris johnson norful when he suspended part of and for 5 weeks did he mislead the queen in giving his reasons for doing so and is this even what they call a justice of will issue is this something that the court should be ruling on or is
12:12 pm
it purely political matter now the government has always said that what boris johnson did was a standard constitutional move to one of the longest parliamentary sessions in modern times at allow a new prime minister to prepare a platform of legislation for the coming parliament activists say that's nonsense clearly what this was was an effort to run down the clock and to deny parliament's vital negotiating debating time at a critical juncture in the brics it saga and essentially crash the u.k. out of the e.u. on october the 31st without a deal i mean of course that the highest court in scotland has ruled the probation the suspension illegal what now if the the call there in london decides again to rule against the government one earth happens next for boss
12:13 pm
johnson and the british government. well that would certainly be a very exciting moment for constitutional law in the u.k. but as legal observers have pointed out constitutional rule should not be excising it should be very very dull when a constitutional law does get interesting then perhaps something's going wrong in the country the government has said that it will abide by whatever the supremes court says so if the supreme court says that the government was unlawful in suspending parliament that logically means that parliament would have to be recalled m.p.'s would have to come back and start debating bret's it again earlier than they are supposed to which is on october the 14th but it goes beyond that if the court decides that it's boris johnson misled the queen well that's a very very serious matter as well and he has been asked whether he would step down whether he would resign from his prime ministerial position if that's the case of
12:14 pm
course he's not giving in on say yes or no on that he's saying well let's wait and see what happens see what this verdict is but we are approaching in the next half an hour a crucial moment for britain for its legal system for its political system and of course of bricks if it were a challenge in london thank you very much. still to come after the whether nigeria seeks to help local dairy farmers but there's a danger the move could backfire plus 5 european governments strike a temporary deal on taking in refugees and migrants but are light on details. we've got the usual rash of showers across southeast asia not cheap back into indonesia you push further north and go back into cambodia where we have seen some
